Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Udinese v Roma in Serie A, fro 7.45pm UK time.

Di Natale is down after a header with Kjaer. No foul but he landed heavily.

Lamela on a surging run and he can finish but blocked by a sliding defender, the loose ball rebounding off Lamela and wide! Danilo I think got the block in.

That has spurred Udinese into life as Pizzi gets forward but can't get it on target.

That effort took a deflection so a corner again. Juan wide again! Crikey!

A bit of a delay as they prepare the corner... great ball Pjanic and Juan powers the header wide! Unmarked!

Smart stop from Handanovic as De Rossi surges forward and pumps a bouncing drive at the bottom right! Corner.

The second half is underway!

Half-time and goalless - it was pretty tedious for a while, livening up late on when both sides missed good chances.

Wide by Pjanic! Should have scored but he drags it across Handanovic and wide! Pjanic raced into the box, there was no challenge until he pulled the trigger at which point two defenders hurled themselves in, which may have put him off as he drilled the finish from an angle on the left.

Two minutes added on as Di Natale and Armero collide while going for the same high ball from six yards! Di Natale put it over but he should have scored and probably would have!

Remember - a 10-minute delay before kick-off because of technical problems in the stadium, so we're only just approaching half-time. Roma working the left now as Angel combines with Osvaldo, back to Juan via Greco though.

WIDE BY GAGO! Best effort yet as he picks it up from his compatriot Lamela, firing a curling dipping effort just past the post from 18 yards!

Danilo hacks down Pjanic and he is the latest player to see yellow. Terrible free-kick from the Bosnia midfielder though, beyond everyone and several yards wide for a goal kick.

Armero picks Cassetti's pocket and Abdi has a pop but straight at Stekelenburg!

Throw to Udinese on the right as Isla and Basta combine, Taddei back defending for Roma.

Good interception by Kjaer flying across like a Nordic ninja to get it away from Armero.

Still very bitty as neither side is able to get more than three passes together.

Pjanic slides in on Abdi and is booked - the ref views it as revenge, but he did get some of the ball so I think that was harsh.

All a bit scrappy now. Given their attacking talent this has been a touch dreary.

Roma happy to play it about at the back now, as Abdi becomes the latest player to draw a theatrical reaction from Lamela, although admittedly he slid through the back of him.

Pinzi trips Pjanic, who becomes the first player tonight not to make the most of a foul.
